Most famous objections for student visa refusal:

ECO’s / Visa Officer’s Comments for a visa refusal:

CASE SCENARIO-A / ACADEMIC DOCUMENTS

CAS / Visa Letter (0 or 30 Points Available):

Points claimed: 30     Points required: 30

Points awarded: 0  (Visa officer’s most favorite refusal now a days)

Begin ECO Comments;

“You have claimed 30 points of your CAS. However this office has not been able to verify your educational documents. The UKBA Guidance states that if we cannot verify that the document is either genuine or false, we would then ignore it as evidence for scoring points. However in this case, I am satisfied that there were reasonable doubts about the authenticity of the educational certificates and therefore verification was required. I am therefore not satisfied that you achieved 30 points under Appendix A and meet the requirements for entry clearance as a Tier – 4 general student. I therefore refuse your application under paragraph 245 ZV (b) of the immigration rules.”

End ECO Comments;

CASE SCENARIO-B / CAS / VISA LETTER

CAS / Visa Letter (0 or 30 Points Available):

Points claimed: 30     Points required: 30

Points awarded: 0

Begin ECO Comments;

“You have claimed 30 Points for your Visa Letter but have failed to provide all the documents you used to obtain a place on your proposed course of study as detailed in your Visa Letter. Provisional and Marks certificates are not accepted; this is because Provisional result do not confer a grant of the qualification as stated on your Visa Letter. I am therefore not satisfied that you have provided the specified document as required under Appendix A of the Immigration Rules. I am therefore not satisfied that you achieved 30 Points under Appendix A and meet the requirements for entry clearance as a Tier 4 (General) Student. I therefore refuse your application under paragraph 245ZV (b) of the Immigration Rules.”

CAS / Visa Letter (0 or 30 Points Available):

Points claimed: 30     Points required: 30

Points awarded: 0

Begin ECO Comments;

“You have claimed 30 points for the visa letter, however the visa letter does not contain the mandatory information as specified in the guidance.  For example, the name of the authorized signatory is not printed on the letter; therefore it is not clear as to who has signed the document.  I am not satisfied that you have a valid visa letter and you have not been awarded any points for the visa letter. You therefore do not meet the requirements to be granted entry clearance under Tier 4 (General) Student and I refuse your application under Paragraph 245ZV(b) of Immigration Rules.”

CASE SCENARIO-C / MAINTENANCE

Maintenance (0 or 10 Points Available):

Points claimed: 10     Points required: 10

Points awarded: 0

Begin ECO Comments;

“You have claimed 10 Points for maintenance. However, the bank statement you  have provided does not demonstrate the required level of funds. You require a minimum of £9,200 (balance of tuition fees of £2,000 for living expenses) in funds. You have submitted a bank statement from United Bank in your name dated 01/09/09 showing a credit balance of Rs 1,205,000 (£8,954). The documents you have provided do not demonstrate that you are in possession of the required level of funds. I am therefore not satisfied that you have achieved 10 points under paragraphs 10 to 13 of Appendix C and meet the requirements to be granted entry clearance under Tier 4 (General) Student). I therefore refuse you application under paragraph 245ZV (c) of the Immigration Rules”

I therefore refuse you application under paragraph 245ZV (c) of the Immigration Rules”

“You have claimed 10 Points for maintenance. However, you have failed to provide the Loan Letter for required 28 calendar days. I am therefore not satisfied that you have achieved 10 points under paragraphs 10 to 13 of Appendix C and meet the requirements to be granted entry clearance under Tier 4 (General) Student). I therefore refuse you application under paragraph 245ZV (c) of the Immigration Rules”

Maintenance (0 or 10 Points Available):

Points claimed: 10     Points required: 10

Points awarded: 0

Begin ECO Comments;

“You have claimed 10 Points for maintenance. However while accessing your documents it has been found out that the Bank Statement produced as an evidence for the maintenance from Silk Bank was without any official stamp and signatures on it. Hence I am not satisfied that you have provided the specified document as required under paragraphs 10 to 13 of Appendix C of the Immigration Rules and therefore awarded zero points out of 10 points claimed by the Applicant.”
